In April: China Franchise Congress in Peking

For the tenth time now, the China Franchise Congress is being held in Peking
on 17th and 18th April 2008. According to the organizers, this event provides
franchisors and franchisees with a platform to discuss new concepts, learn about
new strategies and exchange experiences and information with other like-minded
people.

Furthermore, a number of discussion forums have been organized on subjects
such as "Financing and Franchisors", "Multi-Brand Development Strategies",
"Cooperation Agreements between Shopping Centres and Franchise Brands" or
"Established Chinese Brands". The main event is to concentrate on the
development of the macro-industry and on strategic matters. Besides this, the
